We are UC Berkeley's principal archive of digitized social science data and statistics, and operate as a part of the new UC Berkeley's Social Science Data Lab (D-Lab).

What we do:

We support the social science data needs of UC Berkeley researchers. We provide access to a broad range of computerized social science data to faculty, staff, and students at UC Berkeley. We help researchers understand the content and context of social science data, including geography, weighting, complex designs, and missing data. We provide and support careful and thorough analysis of special issues, problems, programs and populations.

How we do it:

We are part of the U.S. Census Bureau's State Data Center Network (SDB/BIDC). We serve as the regional center for distributing U.S. Census data in California.
